SIGH! Here I am again asking for assistance but at least I don’t repeat requests so I do learn from you guys, and manage to retain what I learn. I’ll seek to break things down in hope I don’t waste anybody’s time as I’m sure you got better things to do than trying decrypt a poorly stated request.

1. I can use Faceshop Pro v.6 to create faces, save as jpg files and apply in iClone. I use the program mainly on public domain pictures and photos of historical figures whose heads are turned slightly aside. Faceshop allows me to create a front facing image of these people when the original image isn’t too grainy or otherwise faulty.

Outcome: In iClone, I have gotten some very, and I mean very good results with some pictures. I have also gotten some utterly useless results but am not sure why. I do know the load image feature doesn’t always let me line up eyes, nose, and face precisely. This means the face I end up with doesn’t look like the original subject even marginally.

2. I discovered Faceshop creates a .fac or .obj file that Photoshop can read and display as what looks like a face texture with put the texture grids. However, I can’t apply that to iClone but believe it is possible, and only my ignorance is the obstacle. I did once save the image as jpg, opened it in iClone’s texture map for faces and it showed up. BUT the grid was off. Meaning some of the grid lines were outside the face area. Of course this probably means I need to learn to texture edit such images.

Outcome: I surrendered after exhibiting complete incompetence with texture editing the image. {will try again later on after reviewing responses here and any online tutorials}   

Note: Faceshop Pro v.6 seems to be auto compatible with Poser. I suspect the texture images are so designed and thus why I can’t get consistent results or texture edit (?) with iClone.

Question: Does anyone have experience with Faceshop Pro v.6 used in collaboration with iClone and can advise me?


Final Note: Peter or other Reallusion person, is there a specific area users can upload freebies? Perhaps for you guys to inspect first to make sure they’re legit and so forth, then make available? I ask because I’ve so often sought forum help and gotten invaluable aid. I want to be able to give something back because without that aid, I’d be stopped dead in my tracks on my projects.
